XRP casinos: deposits on the XRP Ledger, and the tag you must not skip

XRP is one of the cheaper and faster coins to send to a casino: the network fee is 10 drops (0.00001 XRP) and ledgers close every three to five seconds. The risk is a missing destination tag. Many casinos receive XRP at one shared address and use the tag to know whose deposit it is.

Below are the casinos we list that take XRP, the costs with sources and the steps for a deposit that gets credited.

Short answer

What do I need to know before sending XRP to a casino?

Copy the destination tag as well as the address. A casino that pools deposits at one address credits you by the tag; a payment without it can sit unassigned until support finds it, if it does. The transfer itself costs 10 drops, a fraction of a cent, and settles in three to five seconds.

If the casino enables RequireDest on its address, the ledger rejects a payment without a tag instead of losing it.

What it means

The XRP fee is too small to matter. What can cost you is the 1 XRP reserve your own wallet must keep, and a deposit sent without its tag.

Exchanges often charge their own XRP withdrawal fee on top of the network fee.

XRP casino FAQ

What is a destination tag?

A number that tells a business which customer a payment belongs to when many customers share one address. If the cashier shows a tag, your deposit needs it.

I forgot the destination tag. Is my XRP lost?

Not necessarily, but recovery depends on the casino. Contact support with the transaction hash. Addresses with RequireDest set reject untagged payments, so the XRP stays in your wallet.

How fast is an XRP deposit?

Ledgers close every three to five seconds. The casino then credits it according to its own checks.
